Abstract:

The occurrence of emergencies can not only endanger the human society directly but also cause a series of secondary or derivative events because their chain reaction, and public opinion crisis (POC) is one of them. With the rapid development of new media, we-media et.al, the negative impact of emergencies usually can cause POC,thereby resulting in social losses. Therefore, how to propose an effective emergency decision-making method for POC caused by emergencies has become an important issue needs to be solved urgently by the government. Focusing on this issue, a two-stage decision-making method in response to POC considering public emotion evolution is proposed. Firstly, the two-stage decision-making problem in response to POC is described, and a distance measure method for hesitant fuzzy decision information in POC is given. Second, a response method for the initial stage of POC is proposed based on cumulative prospect theory from the perspective of the attribute of response plan. Then, considering the impact of public emotion evolution on decision-making process, a model is constructed to analyze the evolution trend of public emotion under different strategic choices by decision makers, and a programming model regarding the optimal adjustment alternatives in medium stage of POC is given from the perspective of public intervention. a numerical example is given to verify the feasibility of the method, and the comparative analysis with other methods proves the advantages of this method. The results show that: (1) In response process of POC caused by emergencies, the government should pay real-time attention to the public’s emotion changes and whether the initial response plan needs to be adjusted, so as to avoid a large-scale outbreak of POC. (2) Decision makers should adjust the response plan before the proportion of public with negative emotions evolves to a steady state. (3) Compared with the existing distance formulas, our proposed novel distance measurement of decision information in POC can obtain more reasonable decision results.
